For Congress
R. W. EVERETT,
of Polk County.
The fanners choice, the people’s ser
vant, a man who succesfully tills the 1
soil, energetic in business, conserva
tive in methods,firm in his convictions,
solid in judgment, and invincible in
his convictions of right. A man with
out political blemish,able, concientious
and fearless. A Democrat without
faltering, and every inch of him a
man. The Argus submits him to the
ratification of the Democratic conven
tion.
The season of exciting land sales is
about over for this year, but there is
every evidence that the next will be
none the less eventful in its beneficial
results. Public spirited communities
that are preposed for the work will
stand a good chance. Let us be ready.
For a square, up and down, all around
Governor, there has not been a man
before the people of Georgia for many
years, who better fills the bill than
Northern That he is a farmer and a
worker in behalf of an improved agri
culture, should strengthen him on all
sides.
Some one has made a point that
Farmer Northen was at one time a
country school teacher. A man who
knows of the weak places in our school
system, might, as Governor, help to
throw off the night-mare of its faults.
A Washington correspondent no
ticing the return of Congressman
Clements to bis scat from a lection
eering tour of this district reports him
as having set his stakes. Does the
Congressman mean by that that he
has fenced in his catlie?
The Tribune of Rome says that the
man who beats Judson Clements must
get up soon in the morning to do it.
Well, Farmer Everett gets up with
the morning star. How will that do?
With Col. Hardeman as Governor,
and Col. Boh as State Treasurer, Geor
gia might set an original example by
supplying places for the balance of the
family.
Hon. I. E. Shumate will deliver a
lecture before the Georgia Chatauqua
Assembly, at Salt Spring, July 20tb,
his theme being entiled “Educational
Misfits.” We do not know a subject
that offers so wide a range of treat
ment,or a man better quaifiedto touch
with deep pathos the tragic pathways
of its subjecte, or to round with graph
ics humor the absurdities which trend
its way. Col. Shumate’sclose shaving
pliilosphy, keen perception of follies,
and ready witted criticism, braces him
foi a rich and analytical discussion of
“Educational Misfits,” and that means
a rarity of lecture well worth the troub
le to hear.
The return of Congressmen Clem
ents and Carleton to Washington is
noted by the Journal correspondent,
with something like a high glee ex
pression at Hardeman’s letter and
candidacy for Governor, in which it
seems that they take Hardeman’s an
tagonism to the Alliance policy as an
evidence that it is breaking down,
and will spread over the State like
wild-fire. Col. Hardeman may be
able to hack the Alliance and turn
matters to the liking of the politicians,
as has been done in other instance;
but it won’t do for every scared Con
gressman to depend too largely upon
it.

DALTON, GEORG A. JUNE 21.1590.
A Census Failure.
If the census enumerators have a
correct idea of their duties there is one
point in which a failure of serious im
port will occur. A person who lives
in the country, and may claim to be a
farmer because of his ownership and
cultivation of land, and may also do
business in the city, is required to give
no report of the latter, or of his town
possessions, because the rural enume
rators are only instructed to take re
ports of farms and farm products. In
the South this will leave quite a bulk f
of unreported business and property. I
The census taken should be aimed to
get information without regard to
boundaries.
Col. Tom Hardeman's sudden tilt
into the gubernatorial field may be
worked as a sensation by some of the
newspapers who are favorable to a |
split and a chance nomination in the ;
Democratic convention ; but it is no !
I
surprise to those who have watched I
his timid and no-commital course, ’
and have known his long desire. He
is too jovial a fellow not to have a fol
lowing, and the Houston county action
cannot be considered other than as a
preconcerted leader to this end. The
simple question before the fanners of
Georgia, to-day, is not that of favoi or
objection to the sub-treasury law,
or the possibilities of its success ; but ■
rather to show the strength and unity I
of their purpose to demand political
recognition in the legislative halls;
and they must do this by standing fast
to their recognized candidates in face
of all the confusion which will beat
tempted by a jumping up of other
candidates. Northen is the farmers’
candidate.
■County Demodiaoy.
Pursuant to a call of the chairman,
the Democratic Executive Committee

A Safe Guard.
Few people living in a malarial
country but occasionally need a vigor
ous tonic, either to keep off the malar
ial feeling or else to cure the disease
if it once gets into the system. There
is no more uncomfortable disease that
affects humanity than chills and fever.
It drives away energy and ambition.
It makes one feel sick and mean all
over. A safe guard against the disease
and a sure cure is Smith’s Tonic Syrup,
made by Dr. John Bull, of Louisville,
Ky. A single bottle will do for an en
tire family. It is far better than qui
nine. as no derangement of the system
cTl'r follows its use. The use of qui
nine causes a buzzing in the ears, diz
zy sensations, nausea and sometimes
even convulsions and paralysis. Use
Smith’s Tonic. Syrup and all such dan
ger is avoided. In fact it has all the
good medicinal qualities of quinine
with none of its evil nature.
The memorial address of Hon. W.
C. Martin, of Dalton, published in the
Argus of that city, is one of the most,
patriotic and elequent we have seen.
This young orator paid a glowing tri
bute to Southern valor and pictured in j
vivid colors the boro dead. The ora
tion was enthusiastically received, and
evinced the popularity of the speaker
in his home town. “Will” Martin is a
